Chapter Thirty-Two: Caught in the Act

  The window paper was torn open, and we saw a dozen or so black-clad men armed with guns and swords guarding inside. Fei took out a small handgun and fired at those people with a "puff" sound. The gun's sound was very small, like someone blowing air, only to see that the dozen or so people all fell to the ground.

  Damn it, this big wife Yan is really in need of a good scolding. She dares to hide everything from me. How can she have such great things and not even give me two to play with? I'll spank her little butt when I get home!

  Fei finished shooting and pulled my hand, saying "Come on, let's go inside!" As soon as we entered the house, she raised her hand again and fired another shot. A fat monk fell from the roof, and with a flick of her foot, he flew out of the open door. We rushed quickly through the corridor towards the inner room. At the end of the corridor, we saw a small eunuch counting silver coins in his hands, while another eunuch sat beside him dozing off. Fei raised her gun and fired twice, "popping" sounds echoed, and the head of the eunuch counting money leaned against the wall. The other eunuch's body tilted to one side, about to fall to the ground. Fei quickly flew over, caught him with her foot, and gently put him on the ground. Then she and I sneaked into the inner room quietly.

  At this time, we already heard the sound of Cixi's groaning and muttering: "How much zha medicine did you bury? Is it enough for that little boy to taste?"

  "Alright, don't worry. I've buried all the things that Yamamoto gave me. Once they go in to rescue him, just let people pull the strings! I guarantee that Guangxu will be flying high!"

  I was so angry that I rushed in, took a few steps and snapped three quick photos of the two naked fat men without even taking a closer look.

  At this moment, Fei's sword was pressed against Li Lianying's body.

  It was then that I saw this place as one of the most absurd scenes in the world.

  We were both startled and stood there frozen.

  I'm too busy to care about them now, I'm worried that my two little wives will rush in to rescue people, I hastily said: "I'll watch these two people, you quickly go tell Yaner, don't let them come in to rescue people for now!"

  Fei'er burst out laughing: "With just this little trick of theirs, Yansister had already guessed it, don't worry, Yansister has a way to deal with them!"

  I dropped a stone to the ground, opened the black cloth covering my head, walked up to Cixi with a smile, holding the freshly taken color photo, and said: "Hey, this photo effect is not bad, right? It's quite clear. Look, it's so touching! Empress Dowager, I really didn't expect you'd like this kind of thing! If you're lacking men, I'll pick one for you! Alas, poor thing! But if this gets out, it won't be very elegant!"

  I took the treasured sword and pulled out a few of Li Lianying's remaining roots: "As expected, I didn't say it in vain, you really haven't been cleaned up properly. It seems that re-cleaning is still very necessary!"

  As I waved my hand, the remaining root was cut off and fell to the ground, Li Lianying screamed in pain and fainted. Blood splattered all over Cixi's face.

  Cixi turned her face around and burst out laughing: "Little rascal, you've finally been transferred here. Take a good look, these people around us are all mine now!"

  I laughed: "Your man? You shout out loud, is there anyone else?"

  Cixi shouted loudly: "Come on, catch this remnant of the rebel!"

  She had just shouted, Sheng Yu walked in: "What's the ghost yelling? You'd better play with your eunuch well, don't worry about things inside and outside here!"

  The old man looked at him strangely and asked: "How did you come? Get out of here!"

  Sheng Yu smiled and said: "Old lady, you can't show off your authority now! I am the commander of the 5th battalion of the Nine Gates Infantry Patrol. You're making a scene here, affecting my defense work, how can I not come? Alright, go ahead and play, I won't disturb you! Ugh, there are still people playing with eunuchs in this world, disgusting!" He said that and turned around to leave!

  "Cixi angrily shouted: 'You little scoundrel, what do you want?'"

  I chuckled: "What can I do? Tonight, I'll come to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. Hearing that there's a commotion here, I thought who would be so bold as to disturb the Empress Dowager's rest. So I came over and took a photo to report back to the Empress Dowager. Who knew it was actually the Empress Dowager herself? Alas, it's all my fault for being too curious. Why did you let me stumble upon this secret of yours? Should I keep this photo as a memento for the Empress Dowager or leave it with me as a... to play with during my free time? If we sell it to foreigners, I reckon it could be worth a thousand or eight hundred taels of silver! Hehe, sorry, you've inadvertently helped me get rich too!"

  Blood dripped from Li Lianying's body onto Cixi's face. Cixi's hand was about to push Li Lianying, but Li Lianying, who had just come to, hastily shouted: "Empress Dowager, Lan'er, don't move, her sword is pressed against my body!"

  I laughed: "Empress Dowager, with such a good figure, it's a pity not to show it off properly. Let me take a closer look, ah, it's really beautiful and stunning! Oh, this long black hair is also very captivating!"

  Cixi gritted her teeth: "What exactly do you want to do?"

  I said: "What can I do? If you want to show off, just bring my woman over and beat her up. When you're happy, give me two of your followers. Can't you just go home and stay for a while? I'm telling you, hurry back to the government tomorrow and hug your eunuch husband!"

  "Are you in a hurry to take power?" The Empress Dowager's mood had relaxed.

  "I'm not in a hurry, that's an exhausting task, I don't have the habit of rushing to be exhausted! But China can't wait, China has been messed up by you until it's almost scattered, the common people have been driven crazy by hunger! If I don't drive you away, am I still a descendant of the Yan and Huang emperors? Do I still qualify as an emperor?"

  Cixi let out a few sneezes, and as she moved her body, Li Lianying's waist was cut with two gashes. He cried out in a shrill voice: "Ma! What are you doing? Can't you see he has his sword pressed against my waist?"

  I waved my hand and Fei grabbed Li Lianying with one hand, pulling her out. The wailing and howling sounds disappeared in an instant.

  Cixi exclaimed: "You killed him?"

  "I said: 'If I don't kill this son of a bitch who messed up my palace, am I still human? But now it's not that easy, I have to take him with me to rescue my woman!'"

  I picked up the kettle on the brazier and poured a bowl of water for her, blew it gently, then helped her up and said: "Empress Dowager, have some hot water to soothe your cough!"

  She took two sips and then another sip, smacking her lips: "Are you putting something in the water or what? It doesn't taste right!"

  I didn't care about her, poured the whole bowl into her mouth, and then asked her: "My woman?"

  "In a side room, take it yourself!" Cixi was so fed up that she only rolled her eyes and didn't speak for half a day.

  "What's up with that Li girl?"

  "In the back, she actually likes you, don't kill her!" Cixi knew I hated her.

  I wouldn't kill her, I'm keeping her for my warriors to warm their beds!

  "Listen, I don't want to make things too difficult for you. We'll take you away soon, but there's one thing you need to remember: this is your palace, and tonight I'll send these people to our friends outside. If you behave yourself and listen to me, everything will be forgotten, and you can still be my empress. I'll leave a way out for you. But if you try to deceive us, sorry, I'll have them send this jade portrait to foreign newspapers, and I'm sure they'll love to see your beautiful figure!" After saying that, I pressed her acupoint and continued: "Let me tell you, if nothing happens to my little Zhenzhen, and you don't cause any more trouble, I won't bother you again. But if anything happens to her, I'll take your old life!"

  After finishing, I rushed out with Fei and carried the half-dead Li Lianying to the front of the water dungeon. As expected, Yan'er and Baixue didn't dare to go in again, seeing that we had brought Li Lianying, one of them poked his soft ribs and said: "Shout, you come to take Lady Zhen to the interrogation!"

  Li Lianying immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "Song Chang, I am Li Lianying, quickly send that little girl out to me, the old Buddha wants to interrogate her personally!"

  In an instant, two eunuchs carried the drenched Zhen Fei over. I quickly stepped forward and subdued the two eunuchs, embracing Zhen Fei. She was beaten all over her body, and upon seeing me, she burst into tears. Holding her, I turned to Yan Er and said: "Take care of that scoundrel, don't let him lose face!" After speaking, I strode forward, and from behind came a ghostly wail, followed by silence.

  I said to Fei Er: "You and Xue Er bring that old thing over, we're going back to the palace!"
